Bosso targets GOtv WAFU goal king

Supersport.com can reveal that Bayelsa United gaffer, Ladan Bosso, has made an ambitious move to boost the attack of his team with Togolese striker, Saibou Badarou, who scored four goals to emerge goal king at the 2013 GOtv WAFU Cup, in Ghana.

The former Under-20 national team manager is building his team ahead of domestic and continental assignments in 2014.

“Negotiations have reached an advanced stage. Badarou is already heading for Yenogoa and is excited with the chance to play for a big team like Bayelsa United.

“I monitored Badarou’s performance during the recently concluded GOtv WAFU Cup and confirmed my findings. It’s a good move for us and he’s a good striker,” Bosso told supersport.com.

Badarou, who plays for Lome-based Customs side, L’Association Sportive des Dounes (fondly called AS Dounes), comes with great credentials after scoring 14 goals to emerge goal king in the just-concluded Togolese Championnat National. Dounes narrowly lost the title by two points and finished second behind Angers FC.

Badarou becomes the second foreign international at Bayelsa after club captain, Salomon Junior, who also represented Benin Republic at the competition.
